The Problem: Bandwidth and server space can cost you in the hundreds if you're hosting all your videos on your own server.

Why Hasn't This Been Solved Yet: Up to recently, video hosting services or vodcast (video-on-demand) servcies have popped up all over the net to meet this demand. Some offer a monthly subscription, while some offer complimentary space but watermark your videos with their corporate logos - not the ideal solution for a solopreneur looking for a cost-effective (aka "free") solution, while not being branded with another company's logo.

What's Possible Today: Google Video (video.google.com), recently launched in January 2006, offers users the ability "to browse listings of video by category from the store or search Google's entire collection of videos by simply entering keywords into the search box."

"Google Video will let you watch lots of high quality video on the web for the first time. You can search and browse, and we make it fast and easy for you to watch," said Larry Page, Google's co-founder and president, Products. "For video producers and anyone with a video camera, Google Video will give you a platform to publish to the entire Google audience in a fast, free and seamless way."

Solution: For solopreneurs who are looking for a platform to publish their videos on the net for free, without the hassles of dealing with bandwidth or server space issues, Google Video is an ideal solution. In addition, I'll reveal to you how you can leverage Google's expertise to 'host' your videos, while publishing the exact same videos (or even other publishers' videos) to your blog or website.
